Stephan,
By taking your time and watching for sellers with good feedback ratings. Buying through Ebay can be a very good way to go. Tektronix 465's and HP 1740's are great oscilloscopes with 2 channels and often have builtin multimeters. These are well within your budget and both are well supported and manuals are readily available. Groups like 'Tekscope' and 'hp_agilent_equipment' are superb resources.
I personally suggest using PayPal for an added layer of buyer safety.

Hi everyone,
This is my first post to this group. I build DIY audio for myself and
the more I read/talk to individuals it seems like an Oscope should
definitely be on my list of things to purchase. Honestly, I can't tell
you why I would need a 4-channel vs. a 2-channel scope other than 4 is
greater than 2. But I would be interested in your comments. I am
interested in the 2465B but it seems like prices range from $150 -
$1200. If someone can point me in the right direction, I would really
appreciate it. BTW, I'm guessing that all of you would recommend that
buying an Oscope from eBay (as my first Oscope) would not be
recommended. :) Please let me know if you disagree. Also, my budget
is between $200-$300.
TIA
Stephen
